Cardiologist, Dr. Ilir Sharka's Response

Hello,

Your symptoms could be related to a seizure. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests:
- A chest x-ray study
- A resting ECG and cardiac enzymes
- An EEG to investigate for seizures
- Complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- Blood electrolytes
- Fasting glucose
- Thyroid hormone levels.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above-mentioned tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
